Local Girls Take Part In New Years Eve 2005 Anthem
S4C has commissioned three brand new versions of the Welsh National Anthem, Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau, to mark its 150th birthday in 2006. We're all familiar with the rousing melody composed by Evan and James James from Pontypridd, but the new versions are also sure to impress. You can hear the first version on S4C on New Years Eve on the stroke of midnight.
Three local girls took part in the filming but you will have to visit the Anthem link to find out who they were.

Good Year for Calendar Girls
Make a date with some of the sexiest girls around.
We couldn't let all the home-grown modelling talent we've discovered go to waste, so the Free Press is producing a calendar for 2006.
It will feature some of Torfaen's most beautiful girls, pictured in Torfaen's most beautiful settings.
The glossy, A4-sized calendar will be on sale in time for Christmas. It will be a non-profit making venture, with money from each one sold going to local charities.
So far, Lexy, Sophia Cahill, Hayley Jones and Emma Corten have all agreed to take part.
If you would like to model for it, get in touch with Free Press editor Andy Downie by e-mailing him at pontypoolnews@gwent-wales.co.uk|
